Installation
============
- Copy the config file settings.ini into your local settings directory,
depending on which platform you are using this program, e.g.:
* Linux: $HOME/.config/radiorec/settings.ini or
* Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/radiorec/settings.ini
- Adjust the settings to your needs. You can happily add more radio stations
to the STATIONS section.
!!! Check at least the the target_dir !!!
- The script file radiorec.py can be placed wherever you want.
Usage
=====
Open a shell and go to the directory where radiorec.py is located.
General usage:
* Windows: py radirec.py […]
* Linux: python3 radiorec.py […] OR JUST ./radiorec.py […]
What you want to do first is getting some help about how to use the scipt:
./radiorec.py --help
There are two main commands: record and list.
Recording a radio station usually works as follows:
./radiorec.py record <station> <duration> [name]
<station> is the radio station name, for example: dlf
<duration> is how long the recording runs in minutes, for example: 60
[name] is not required and is (currently) just appended to the filename.
Thus the command line is:
./radiorec.py record dlf 60 mytest
You can get a list of all known radio stations with:
./radiorec.py list
Scheduling the recording task
=============================
Using Linux, you can use "at" for scheduling, for example:
at 22:00 friday
> /path/to/radiorec.py dlf 60 mytest
[CTRL-D]
The recording then starts on the upcoming friday at 10 pm.
Please have a look at the manual page of "at" for more information about
how to schedule your recording tasks.
